He wins on steering jobs and lots of them

How many times has he given a horse a ride where you've thought jeez that was a top ride that wouldn't have won with another jockey on

Danny however is very capable of winning a race when he's not on the best horse

Patrick is a very good amateur jockey, he should not be getting second pick in grade 1s for willie over Danny who is an excellent professional jockey

Absolutely
8 runnner Grade 1 and an amateur is on one of them.
Can’t believe Tony Bloom accepts that.
 
Any chance someone could list out the final daily yankees somewhere?
For some reason the link to the vid now won’t work for me.

Cheers
 
Fairly confident I'd get sacked if I didn't book the week off.

I get enough comments the Thurs/Fri of Aintree let alone the main event!
 
I've convinced myself the Townend 4 timer is a good thing and they all might win comfortably.
The ground and positive well timed rides will be perfect for them all.
 
I'm also on. But is he that good on the front end... Willie accused him of getting it wrong on a couple of high profile ones.

Gaelic over 20 lengths at 80/1 though :welcoming:

I'm hoping he's a quick learner.

Pretty sure all the “win today and” offers with hills have been ante post rules

I had one on Jeroboam machin at drf and that was refunded the other day so that was nrmb

Edit, looking back at my Jeroboam machin bet it says on the settled but when they refunded nrmb and it doesnt on the losing allaho settled bet, but iv a screenshot of the original open bet on Jeroboam bet and it didnt say anything about nrmb on it then which I thought is odd

It's never the quickest at the best of times let alone on a day like today, bloody awful
 
There's the non runners starting :boxing: Hopefully goes in our favour ie our Ante post picks have fewer to beat!
 
To be honest, soft to heavy is what most of these have been running on throughout the winter. Today's no different.

All this talk about terrible ground is a bit far off. No excuses.

I've had an account with them for a few months and I can't even login at the moment....
Fearing that there will be similar issues when I withdraw my millions! :glee:
 
Part of me loves the fact it's heavy as it's going to mix it up.

The other part of me is saying it's going to be poor for the racing and my wallet :boxing:

Part of me can't stand this weather or the likely ground conditions, the other part of me is wondering if this is what Lobos meant when saying 'proper Spring ground'?
